Lucid Dreaming for Mindful Living, with Andrew Holecek

Have you ever become aware that you’re dreaming, while still in the dream? Lucid dreaming is the act of becoming conscious that we’re dreaming. It’s a skill we can intentionally develop to become more lucid in our waking state. Those who regularly practice mindfulness meditation may be particularly adept at lucid dreaming.

In this episode, author and spiritual teacher Andrew Holecek introduces lucid dreaming, dream yoga, and how to best induce these deeply meditative states. Learn more about the benefits of nocturnal meditations in Episode #306, Mindfulness While Sleeping, or start with the preliminary practice of Liminal Dreaming, introduced in Episode #064.

Andrew Holecek teaches meditation, lucid dreaming, and Buddhist death preparation practices worldwide. His books include “Dream Yoga: Illuminating Your Life Through Lucid Dreaming” and “Dreams of Light: The Profound Daytime Practice of Lucid Dreaming.”
